Jeremias 4:5-6:30 NVIPT

Ellicott's Commentary for English Readers - Jeremiah 4:5

(5) Declare.—i.e., proclaim as a herald proclaims. The cry is that of an alarm of war. The prophet sees, as it were, the invading army, and calls the people to leave their villages and to take refuge in the fortified cities. read more

Expositor's Dictionary of Texts - Jeremiah 4:1-31

Plural, Yet Singular Jeremiah 4:2 I want to speak about the plural that runs itself up into the singular. 'Truth, judgment, righteousness.' We cannot get rid of the three; when we sometimes think we are farthest from it we are closest upon it. It is a mystery that is to be reckoned with. Indifference, worldliness, folly, may avoid all these subjects, and thus run a downward and self-extinguishing course. There remains the idea of the three. We cannot, let us say again and again to ourselves,... read more

; Jeremiah 5:1-31; Jeremiah 6:1-30CHAPTER IVTHE SCYTHIANS AS THE SCOURGE OF GODJeremiah 4:3 - Jeremiah 6:30IF we would understand what is written here and elsewhere in the pages of prophecy, two things would seem to be requisite. We must prepare ourselves with some knowledge of the circumstances of the time, and we must form some general conception of the ideas and aims of the inspired writer, both in themselves, and in their relation to passing events. Of the former, a partial and fragmentary... read more

Arno Gaebelein's Annotated Bible - Jeremiah 4:1-31

CHAPTER 4 1. True repentance and what it means (Jeremiah 4:1-4 ) 2. The alarm sounded: judgment comes (Jeremiah 4:5-13 ) 3. The doom of the rebellious people (Jeremiah 4:14-22 ) 4. The desolation of Israel’s land through judgment (Jeremiah 4:23-31 ) Jeremiah 4:1-4 . A return must be a return unto Him, Jehovah; anything less is insufficient. Their abominations must be judged and put away. Every return of backsliders must be in the same way--a true return to the Lord with confession of... read more

Geneva Study Bible - Jeremiah 4:5

4:5 {d} Declare ye in Judah, and proclaim in Jerusalem; and say, Blow ye the trumpet in the land: cry, confirm, and say, Assemble yourselves, and let us go into the fortified cities.(d) He warns them of the great dangers that will come on them by the Chaldeans, unless they repent and turn to the Lord. read more

James Gray's Concise Bible Commentary - Jeremiah 4:1-31

PERSECUTED IN HIS HOME TOWN The length of this lesson may alarm, but preparation for it only requires the reading of the chapters two or three times. One who has gone through Isaiah will soon catch the drift of the Spirit’s teaching and be able to break up the chapters into separate discourses and the discourses into their various themes. The main object of the lesson is to dwell on the prophet’s personal experience in his home town which is reached in the closing chapters. It is thought... read more

The People's Bible by Joseph Parker - Jeremiah 4:1-31

The Pleadings of God Jeremiah 4:0 The people had just said they would return, for they were tired of their evil ways. They had been looking to the hills for salvation, and no salvation came; they had turned their eyes to the multitude of mountains, and found them to be utterly barren of hope. The Lord had told them this, and they had confirmed it by much experience of a painful kind. The people said: "We lie down in our shame, and our confusion covereth us: for we have sinned against the Lord... read more

Hawker's Poor Man's Commentary - Jeremiah 4:3-9

The Prophet here opens his commission to the men of Judah and Jerusalem; and in the prospect of the Babylonish captivity, now hastening, admonisheth them to seek the Lord. The Prophet, like a faithful preacher, dwells upon the same subject, as the Lord preached to him, at his ordination. See Jeremiah 1:14 to the end. The Lion from the thicket is a strong figure, to set forth the fury of the Enemy. And when the Lord gives the authority, what a roaring Lion indeed, is every foe. Precious Jesus!... read more
